Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to recognize and honor all our outstanding teachers who are the heart and soul of education. Thank you, teachers, for working hard each and every day to elevate our students to become successful in school and beyond. We celebrate you today and every day!
A teacher at Lake Washington High School (LWHS) is making history. Michael Dawson, history teacher at LWHS, recently received the 2021 Thomas J. and Cameron Pressly Endowed Prize for Outstanding History or Social Studies Teacher in Washington Schools.
The lists are out and Lake Washington School District (LWSD) musicians are major players for this year’s musical honor groups. On even school years, the Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA) choses students from across the state from Middle School to High School to participate in WMEA State Honors Music Groups. Sixty-nine high schoolers and 55 middle schoolers come from LWSD schools this year.
Lake Washington School District (LWSD) teams performed very well at the Washington Science Olympiad State Tournament.
Students across the district supported and celebrated sustainability efforts in their schools all week for Earth Day 2022.
Visit our Sustainability page to see year-round efforts around sustainability, conservation and recycling.
Watch this video from LWSD Superintendent Dr. Jon Holmen, welcoming students back to the 2021-22 school year.
